psychodad,

I'm hoping this is the part of the log that will actually be helpful, the entire log of coarse was too long to post here

I've been using the plugin for the last week or so with great success, thanks for writing it.

I've set it up to bypass video detection and just use certain modes depending on filename, with the default to use 1080p24 otherwise.
Most of the time no video switching needs to be done as I leave the player in 1080p24 and most files I play are 720p24 or 1080p24.

The bonus that comes with using the plugin is switching off the LEDs when playing a file.

However, for the first time yesterday, I noticed that the LEDs didn't switch off when I started playing a file.
This suggested that the plugin wasn't kicking in as expected.

I tried a few other files and each time the LEDs would go off so assumed the plugin was working correctly.

I then realised that the offending file contained an apostrophe in its name (Brooklyn's).

After removing the apostrophe (Brooklyns), the LEDs switched off as per usual upon playing.

Anyone else notice this?

the ffmpeg analysis of your video file lasts too long. the wd's playback command will timeout after 15 seconds or so. if ffmpeg needs more time the WD will hang. i cannot prevent this. i recommend you set a fixed resolution for hulu files by using the "video_modes" setting.

@mankmeister
at the moment i see no way to handle filenames with single quotes. please avoid such filenames.

[recliq]

@psychodad: where exactly is the problem with single quotes, this should be solvable

[psychodad]

the problem is, that the script is called by dmaosd by executing: autores.sh 'movie.mkv'. if the filename contains single quotes it will fail.
i used double quotes around the filename before, but then any "$" characters are interpreted by bash as variables. (some media servers are producing such filenames). Thats why i'm using single quotes now. Escaping the special characters inside the filename before executing the script isnt trivial because this would require some new assembler routines inside dmaosd. If you have any ideas to work around this problem let me know

[recliq]

ok, that's a problem then indeed, didn't know about the filenames with $...

[KAD]

@psychodad

thanks for looking at those results, I also so expired and was afraid it had timed out but didn't know what to do about it
could you provide an example of how "video_modes" setting should look, in your first post you mentioned it's an egrep pattern, but I'm exactly sure what the filter path should look like, my case I want to access play via media servers, hulu ... and enforce 1080p60

KAD

[psychodad]

if i remember correctly you are using the playon media server to access online content? then i would set a fixed resolution for all the video streams from this media server by using the ip/port as filter (assuming the mediaserver is always using the same ip/port):

Code: Select all

video_modes="
192\.168\.1\.142.63478:1080p60
*:1080p60|1080p50 ...
...
"

the line starting with "192" sets 1080p60 for all files coming from your playon media server.

you can watch the console output of the plugin to decide how your filter should look:

Code: Select all

INFO: selected file -> http://192.168.1.142:63478/hulu-8de65518-2658-4557-bc53-c4d184671e8a/1-hulu-8de65518-2658-4557-bc53-c4d184671e8a.mpg

if your filter works correctly script will say:

Code: Select all

filename matches pattern "192\.168\.1\.142.63478" -> setting available resolutions to: 1080p60

[KAD]

psychodad, thanks for the example, but it didn't work for me,

first time I tried to play a file off my HDD it popped 720p60 on a 1080p23.967 file, but this is something I can live without for now, and I'll bet it works with hulu for other people with faster internet connection, when I get a few moments I'll post the output from log if I notice anything abnormal, just for info on future developing

Hi psychodad!
Great job, this is must have.
However when I press stop on a movie, the resolution doesn't return to the one I have on wdtv configuration settings.
I have on my autores.conf the set_menu_video_mode=1 but none deal.
Any hints on this? I want it to go to 1080p60, that's what I have on wdtv settings.
Thanks
